Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Seaham, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Seaham questions
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you cover Seaham?
We do. Technicians travel to Seaham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
When to call us in Seaham
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Clients normally contact us about:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
- A roll-top that is seen better days
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice
